Cairn Chambers

Cairn Chambers are round barrows where the covering mound has been removed or has naturally disintegrated. The chambers are usually made out of 3-4 pillar stones and one cover stone and were used for a single burial.

Fanefjord Dysse

The cairn chamber lies north of Grøn Jægers Høj or better known as Grønsalen, on a field east of Fanefjord Church near Vollerup. It is a well preserved cairn with three pillar stones, a lower brink stones and a large cover stone. The mound as well as the border stones were removed during the last century.

Lisebjerg Dysse

Another beautiful cairn is standing near Ålebæksgård on the slope of the Lisebjerg hill. It has a rectangular burial chamber which has been lying there with its cover-stone set aside for many years. When the cover-stone was moved back in place closer inspection revealed lots of prehistoric items in the grave.

Råby Dysse

West of Råbymagle, north of the way to Råbylille, there is a large cairn with massive pillar stones and a large domed cover stone.

Originally this was a long barrow, people tell about two rows of stones in relation to this grave but they have been removed.
This cairn is Møns largets stand-alone cairn. Its size and its exposed position makes it a real landmark, which can be seen from far distances.

Sømarkedyssen

This is a quite interesting mound with more than one function. It was not only a burial chamber but was also used for more magical purposes.

Besides its gigantic cover-stone over the big octagonal chamber, it has about 200 cup-shaped holes scooped out on the cover-stone of the entrance. These holes are believed to be sacred magical signs in a fertility-cult active in the Bronze Age.

Sømarkedyssen is situated near Magleby on the eastern part of Møn.

Sprove Dysse

About 100 meters to the south of Kong Asgers Høj near Stenagergård you will find an well preserved burial mound with 7 base-stones, 2 coverstones with similar cup-shaped holes as on Sømarkedyssen, a small entrance and 35 big stones around the mound.

Sprove - Røddinge

This burial mound is situated in an almost inaccessible hedgerow between Sprove and Røddinge Husrække. A large coverstone lies on a burial chamber in the ground and a few border stones surrounds the small mound.

Røddinge - Store Lind

On the roadside between Røddinge and Store lind lies one of Møn´s smallest graves. There is just one coverstone left, lying on a burial chamber in the ground. This is probably one of the graves which have been raided to collect the stones for the fake Long barrow in Marienborg Park
